I Become Villain With Counter-Attack System In The Novel

Serena avoided his gaze, looking anywhere else than at him as she wasn't able to meet his eyes out of guilt.

Of course, she knew what he was talking about. Not just her but the whole high-class of the Berlin city knew about it.

After all, Max is crowned as dog-licker king by their younger generation, though no one dares to say it to his face fearing his family background but this well-known "secret" among them.

Which is strange as normally, a rich 2nd generation like Max can do whatever they want, and no one would bait an eye as being the heir of an apex family like the Winchesters gives him that privilege.

Even if this is just the Cadet branch of the Winchester family from the capital, It still holds tremendous power in this city.

So logically, those rich younger generations in this should have been flaunting over Max, trying to gain his favor, and they actually do, or at least they try.

But Max was so infatuated with her that he ignored all their attempts to socialize with them which were mostly about drinking in bars and fooling around with beauties.

So the fascination turns into hate and when they saw his behavior trying to please her in various ways, while she was still rejecting him, they found a reason to vent their anger and start making fun of him calling him dog-licker, spear tier, beta man, simp etc.

This is their way to hide their own incompetence.

"....Sorry"

Serena after a moment looked at him and genuinely apologised to him, As she knows if not for her, they wouldn't be able to make fun of him.
